The environment committee on Tuesday endorsed more than $50 million in spending
over the next four years on strategic initiatives including a new sewage storage
tunnel, a climate change plan and increased tree planting. But it was several
initiatives not outlined on the list — such as setting more measurable goals for
reducing Ottawa’s overall level of greenhouse gas emissions, divesting from
fossil fuels and taking a tougher stance on the proposed Energy East pipeline —
that garnered the most attention from concerned residents who spoke at the
meeting. via
